Description
If you’ve ever felt like you were giving so much of yourself to others that you were left feeling empty, this book is exactly what you need. Good Boundaries and Goodbyes by Lysa TerKeurst is a heartfelt guide on how to set healthy boundaries while still maintaining loving relationships. It’s not about putting up walls or pushing people away; it’s about finding that balance where you can love and care for others without losing yourself in the process. And trust me, that’s a game-changer.
What I Learned from This Book
One of the biggest lessons I took away was that setting boundaries doesn’t make you selfish; it actually helps you become more whole and better equipped to show up for the people who matter. Lysa has this way of breaking down how to identify toxic patterns in relationships and how to communicate your needs in a way that feels loving and firm at the same time.
I also appreciated how she emphasized the importance of knowing your worth. Before reading this book, I’d often find myself saying “yes” to things I really didn’t want to do to avoid conflict or to make people happy. But Lysa taught me that saying “no” is sometimes the most loving thing you can do—not just for yourself, but for the people you care about, too.
Final Thoughts
Good Boundaries and Goodbyes are like having a wise friend who reminds you that you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness, both by yourself and others. It’s a book that empowers you to stand firm, communicate honestly, and not feel guilty for prioritizing your well-being. Whether you’re dealing with a difficult friend, a demanding family member, or just trying to figure out how to say “no” without feeling bad, Lysa’s words are encouraging and practical. It’s one of those reads that stays with you long after you’ve finished it, giving you the tools to create healthier relationships and, most importantly, a healthier you.
